Schedule for Daycare
Please Note
Every dog is different and some may require more visits before they adjust, while others take to the group and environment right away. If we see any problems with your dog adjusting, we will give you and update and let you know the progression with each visit.
Schedule for Daycare
- Play group: 8:00 am - 12:00 pm
- Nap Time: 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm
- Play Group: 2:00 pm - 5:30 pm
Please Note
- We welcome any and all dogs into daycare on the condition they pass our temperament evaluation test (evaluation based on personality and play style).
- On your first day, we ask that you drop off between 6:30 am to 8:00 am. This is to ensure your dog has plenty of time to acclimate to the environment before introduction into group.
- Once we evaluate your dog, they will be introduced to the pack and evaluate for any behaviors that may cause problems. If everything is fine, they will receive a passing grade.
- Dogs will be placed into one of our three play groups (small, medium and large) based on size and temperament.
- After your first initial visit, you may use our online scheduling system to reserve your dog’s spot in their play group (limited space per group and become full some days.
- All dogs go into a crate during nap time. (Please let us know if your dog needs special accommodations to ensure your dog is happy and comfortable).
- During the day your dog is given a water break about every hour with them receiving their own water bowl and a potty break following their water break.
